The defiant armor you get (other than crude for starters) is based on being at the 5 level to buy defiant off of Keefe and Iason the 2 NPC in PoK across from the crescent reach stone, if you are in the range to wear say intricate, but can't buy the non vis intricate , then you will get the lower level gear.

I got on my account from 1999 and even made it gold membership, then i made a F2P account and the F2P account has 999 of these items in its claims window where as my account that was created back in 1999 and was active all the way up to 2006 and is a gold membership has none at all, is that a bug or are old players out of luck while new accounts get pieces of gear for free. It wouldn't be such a big deal but my gold account has maybe 100 plat to his name so it isn't like i can go to the Bazaar and buy some defiant armor and a mercenary and get right into playing, i gotta go farm some plat and hope i don't run through the merc that is costing me 16 plat every 15 minutes.

Summons a Satchel of Legacies Lost, which contains 3: Package of Defiant Armor, 1 Scabbard of Hope, 10: Potion of Adventure, 10: Potion of Speed, and a Book of Knowledge.

At level 59 I claimed this hoping to get Elaborate Defiant, I got Intricate Defiant, Oh well.

Please make a note here of what type you get at what level.

So it seems to gives you what you don't have, rather than totally random.

Update was on the 11th and today. No changes.. I thought I have to put away all items from the gift (used all potions and put items to another char), but the effect was the same. "You can only redeem this item once per character. Please try again on a different character"

Yeah I tried it on every toon I have and I couldn't claim it. I know someone that claimed it on every toon they have. What have I done wrong or does my account not qualify? What's with the 1000 count too?
